q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

HLM meta-analysis of 46 SCED studies estimating the mean baseline DTT implementation fidelity across participants and studies. The article reports "the baseline level ... was estimated to be 40.61%", which it characterizes as low accuracy.

"The baseline level was consistent across all models and was estimated to be 40.61%, γ̂000 = 40.61, t(3400) = 16.76, p < .0125."
